Woke up today thinking about England versus San Marino football history. Honestly, couldn’t even recall the last time San Marino might’ve scored a goal against them. Figured a proper review was overdue.
First Step: Finding Reliable Stats
Started simple – typed “England San Marino all matches” into the search bar. Clicked on a few links, some looked kinda sketchy, others seemed alright. Needed official stuff, so hunted down the FIFA website and found their head-to-head stats section. Took some digging, those dropdown menus are sneaky!
The Part Where My Eyes Almost Popped Out
Finally got the results page loaded. Scrolled down… and down… and down. Seriously, one win after another for England. Just kept clicking ‘Next Page’. Found it!
- The Overall Picture: Every single match England won. Every. Single. One. Wasn’t really a shocker, but seeing it written down felt different.
- Goal Avalanche: Started adding up the England goals in my head. 5-0, 7-1, 8-0, that crazy 10-0 one… lost count fast. My rough tally? England scored well over 50 goals across those games. Just ridiculous.
- San Marino’s Lonely Goals: Scrolled carefully. Found ONE! Remembered it vaguely. 1993? Early days for San Marino. They actually scored first! Final score was still 7-1 to England, though. And later… oh, there’s a 1-5. Okay, so two goals total for San Marino ever against England. That’s it.
- Home or Away, Didn’t Matter: Whether playing at Wembley or that tiny stadium in Serravalle, the outcome never changed. England just rolled through.
Trying to Make Sense of It All
Honestly, wasn’t expecting anything else. Football minnow versus giant, that’s the story. But seeing the sheer scale of the dominance laid out was something else. The fact San Marino managed even two goals feels almost heroic against those scorelines.
Wrapped up my notes. It’s the most lopsided international football history you can find. Pure stats show it. Pure history confirms it. Not much else to say, really.
